Good set of figures. The figures are actually larger than I thought. They're so large that they could've been sold as trading figures rather than gashapons. The sculpts are decent. While the poses are good, the face sculpts look bad. They're not terrible but the faces look rather unattractive. They look a little warped and they don't seem to look anything like the characters that they're based on. But it's not entirely bad. The outfits are sculpted fairly well. The skirts are sculpted to make them look like they're blowing in the wind which is cool. And the plastic used is quite solid and heavy, so that's good.

Here's something that bugged me. The nude character with the towel wasn't designed that well. Her legs are actually split in two so once she's assembled, the seams make her look like an android or something. Just in case you're wondering, the naked girl isn't anatomically correct. The towel's removable but you won't see anything. :)

The overall paint job is fairly clean but a little dull. They lack a lot of details. There isn't any airbrushing or any other enhancements on the figures. What a shame. I'd like to point out that I managed to get a variant of the girl in the holding an umbrella. She's wearing different colors than the normal figure. An okay paint job. Neither great nor terrible.

Overall: C
A pretty boring set of figures. I had expected a much higher quality sculpt and paint but they turned out to be fairly bland. The sculpt/paint are decent but there doesn't seem to be any real effort given to them. They remind me of the old school gashapons that were made a couple of years ago.
